I went to see The Hobbit film last night, and when I got home, I saw that Laura Dockrill had tweeted a link to this 11-minute animation.

Stanley Pickle was shot frame by frame on two sets and two locations, using a stills camera and Dragon Stop-Motion Software. Here's an interview with the director, Victoria Mather:
